  • Gonna Pass

    Sorry - I check back occasionally but as long a Gordon is part of this I’m out.

    The fact that a Reds beat writer still does a Cub podcast spell agenda all in KAPS if u will and we all know what his agenda is.

    The premise of the agenda has some merit but Gordo as the messenger has zero credibility.

    And yes the negativity and sourness is off putting it’s a baseball podcast

  • Quit complaining

    I love you guys but I tire of the constant complaining about ownership spending. It is what it is, talk about what is realistic.

  • Too much arguing, no chemistry

    Really seems like these guys don’t really like working with each other. They’ll spend most of the show arguing over things that don’t really matter. Don’t waste your time listening.
